About The Vig
The Vig is a restaurant and cocktail bar on N 4th Ave in Phoenix, with a menu of Southwestern-leaning pub fare and regular live music. Truffle fries with goat cheese dip are a recurring order, and pozole is offered as a side or bowl item. Old-fashioned cocktails and house margaritas round out the drink list, with happy hour running Monday through Friday from 3 to 6. The patio sits under trees and welcomes dogs, giving outdoor dining a shaded spot separate from the main dining room. Families with young children are accommodated with high chairs, and a private dining room is available for groups. A step-free entrance serves visitors with mobility needs, and the space includes a fireplace. Reservations are recommended and can be made through OpenTable. The kitchen also handles takeaway and delivery for those eating off site. Street parking is available in front or up the street, though on-site parking is limited.

Customer Review Summary
Truffle fries draw the most consistent praise, described by reviewers as seasoned to perfection though one visit found them over-salted and another called the fries soggy. Close behind, the pozole earns strong marks from several diners, with one calling it some of the best they've had in California-level comparison, though another reviewer received a noticeably smaller portion than usual and was offered only a paid upcharge rather than a fix when they complained. The patio setting under the trees comes up repeatedly as a highlight, along with dishes like the hot honey chicken sandwich, pork tacos, and old-fashioneds. Service is largely described as attentive and friendly, with servers frequently praised by name for going out of their way, including one who found a bandaid for a child and another who helped customize an order, though one visit describes a server who never cleared plates or checked on the table and a separate reviewer notes seeing stray cats pass through the dining area. Reviewers mention free desserts given for a graduation celebration and a server confirming the patio is dog friendly.

“Love this place. It's quaint, cozy. They have inside and outside seating. If it's cool enough choose outside. It's so relaxing. Food was good. Service was good also. I recommend making a reservation. Because it is so cozy, seating is limited.”
- Angelique young
“We are from Illinois and we had an amazing experience here, it was brunch but we really wanted to try the tacos so they were nice enough to cook them. My husband had the burger and it was perfect! Definitely would recommend!”
- Ray Murphy
“The Vig never disappoints! Hands down one of my favorite spots in Phoenix. The food is consistently great — the burgers and fries are some of the best in the city. The patio is perfect for an Arizona evening and the atmosphere is so laid …”
- Averyn Jensen
“Went to The Vig and overall it was a decent experience, but not perfect. The atmosphere is definitely the main draw. …”
- Tashana Hudspeth
“I had such a wonderful experience at The Vig in Phoenix, and it was all because of our incredible waitress, Mercedes! From the moment she greeted us, she was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. I wanted to customize my lunch, and instead of making it feel like an inconvenience, Mercedes enthusiastically helped me create the perfect meal. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure every detail was exactly the way I wanted it. It’s rare to find someone who combines outstanding customer service with such a positive, welcoming personality. Mercedes made our lunch feel special, and her professionalism and kindness truly stood out. The food was delicious, but the exceptional service is what will bring me back. If you’re dining at The Vig, I hope you’re lucky enough to have Mercedes as your server. She is an absolute gem and a wonderful ambassador for the restaurant!”
